Transparent electrode layer 15 has multiple transparency electrodes 110 and 120.Barrier drive signal DRV is by barrier driver part 41 It is applied to each in transparency electrode 110 and 120.Transparent electrode layer 17 is provided as so-called public electrode, its cover with The corresponding position of multiple transparency electrodes 110 and 120, and common electric voltage Vcom is applied to transparent electrode layer 17.In the example In, common electric voltage Vcom is the DC voltage of 0V, although its not limited to this.Transparency electrode 110 in transparent electrode layer 15 and Liquid crystal barrier 11 is constituted with the corresponding part of transparency electrode 110 of liquid crystal layer 19 and transparent electrode layer 17.Similarly, transparency electrode Transparency electrode 120 in layer 15 and the corresponding part of the transparency electrode 120 composition liquid with liquid crystal layer 19 and transparent electrode layer 17 Brilliant barrier 12.It is arranged using this, in barrier means 10, voltage is selectively applied to the He of transparency electrode 110 120, and liquid crystal layer 19 carries out liquid crystal aligning according to the voltage for being applied, and is enable to in liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 Each carry out opening/closing operation.
Fig. 5 shows the configuration example of the transparency electrode 110 and 120 in transparent electrode layer 15.Transparency electrode 110 and 120 In each there is main line part 61, the main line part 61 is with the bearing of trend identical direction with liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 (With vertical direction Y into predetermined angle theta direction)Extend.In each in transparency electrode 110 and 120, along main line portion The bearing of trend for dividing 61 is provided side by side sub-electrode region 70.Each sub-electrode region 70 has main line part 62 and component 63.In this example, main line part 62 be formed to the direction that intersects with main line part 61 extend and with horizontal direction X Side into predetermined angle theta upwardly extends.In each sub-electrode region 70, there is provided by 62 points of main line part 61 and main line part From four stub areas(Domain)71 to 74.
Component 63 is formed in each of stub area 71 to 74 from main line part 61 and 62 to extend.Each The line width of component 63 is equal to each other in stub area 71 to 74.Similarly, the gap width of each component 63 Also it is equal to each other in stub area 71 to 74.Component 63 in each of stub area 71 to 74 is in the same direction Extend.The bearing of trend phase of the component 63 in the bearing of trend and stub area 73 of the component 63 in stub area 71 For vertical direction Y as axle is axisymmetric, and similarly, the bearing of trend of the component 63 in stub area 72 Bearing of trend with the component 63 in stub area 74 is axisymmetric relative to vertical direction Y as axle.And, point The bearing of trend of the component 63 in the bearing of trend and stub area 72 of the component 63 in region 71 is relative to work Horizontal direction X for axle is axisymmetric, and similarly, the bearing of trend of the component 63 in stub area 73 and branch The bearing of trend of the component 63 in region 74 is axisymmetric relative to horizontal direction X as axle.In this example, have Body ground, the component 63 in stub area 71 and 74 with horizontal direction X counterclockwise into predetermined angularOn the direction of rotation Extend, and the component 63 in stub area 72 and 73 with horizontal direction X clockwise into predetermined angularThe direction of rotation Upper extension., it is desirable to angleE.g. about 45 degree.
It should be noted that in this example, as described above, angleIt is desirable that about 45 degree, because in barrier means 10 The transmission axle of polaroid 14 and 18 be oriented to along horizontal direction X and vertical direction Y, although when the polaroid in barrier means 10 14 and 18 transmission axle along with horizontal direction X and vertical direction Y into about 45 degree of direction be oriented to when, angleIt is desirable that Ground is for example of about 0 and 90 degree.Such case is, for example, to use TN corresponding to display unit 20(Twisted nematic)The liquid crystal of liquid crystal The situation of display unit.
Fig. 6 shows the orientation of the liquid crystal molecule M without applied voltage in liquid crystal layer 19.In liquid crystal layer 19, with take It is oriented as being approximately perpendicular to substrate table away from one restriction of alignment films to the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal molecule M near the interface of film After face, and the orientation of the liquid crystal molecule near interface, any other liquid crystal molecule(For example, the thickness side of liquid crystal layer 19 The liquid crystal molecule of immediate vicinity upwards)Also it is orientated in equivalent directions.
Using this configuration, when voltage is applied to transparency electrode 110 and 120 and transparent electrode layer 17 and liquid crystal layer When electric potential difference between voltage at 19 both sides becomes big, the light transmittance of liquid crystal layer 19 increases, and causes liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 from resistance Gear state(Closed mode)It is changed into transmission state(Open mode).At this moment by the component in transparency electrode 110 and 120 63 generate the electric field component on the direction parallel with substrate surface, and liquid crystal molecule M response is oblique in the voltage for being applied To causing liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 to be changed into transmission state from blocked state.On the other hand, because electric potential difference diminishes, therefore liquid The longitudinal direction of brilliant molecule M causes liquid to reduce perpendicular to the direction of substrate surface orientation, and the light transmittance in liquid crystal layer 19 Brilliant barrier 11 and 12 is in blocked state(Closed mode).
Fig. 7 shows the operation example of liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12.Fig. 7's(A)Show the waveform of barrier drive signal DRV Example, and Fig. 7(B)Show the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12.The example illustrate liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 opening State(Transmission state)And closed mode(Blocked state)Between be based on sequentially from closed mode(Blocked state)It is changed into switching Mode of operation(Opening/closing operation state)Situation.
When liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 is changed into opening/closing operation state from closed mode, barrier driver part 41 will shield Barrier drive signal DRV is supplied to liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12, such as Fig. 7(A)Shown in, the barrier drive signal DRV includes beating The opening/closing drive waveforms part Woc and prepared drive waveforms part Wpre being just arranged in before Woc.
It is for the repeatedly switchable liquid crystal between open mode and closed mode to beat opening/closing drive waveforms part Woc The waveform portion of barrier 11 and 12, and be in this example in-Vo, 0V and Vo(Vo is to open driving voltage)Between change Pulse signal.It is, it is with 0V to beat opening/closing drive waveforms part Woc(Vcom)Centered on to reduce in liquid crystal layer 19 The AC waveforms of the probability of the upper so-called burning that may occur.It is to enter liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 to open to open driving voltage Vo Voltage needed for state, such as about 7V.When-Vo or Vo are provided to liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12, in the He of liquid crystal barrier 11 The absolute value of the electric potential difference between transparent electrode layer 15 and 17 in 12 at the both sides of liquid crystal layer 19 is changed in Vo, and liquid crystal layer 19 Liquid crystal molecule M response it is oblique in the voltage that this is applied.As a result, liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 is in open mode(Transmission shape State), wherein light transmittance T increases, such as Fig. 7(B)Shown in.On the other hand, 0V is provided to liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12, liquid crystal layer The absolute value of the electric potential difference between transparent electrode layer 15 and 17 at 19 both sides is changed into 0V, and the longitudinal direction of liquid crystal molecule M It is oriented as perpendicular to substrate surface.As a result, liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 enters closed mode(Blocked state), wherein light transmittance T Reduce, in Fig. 7(B)It is shown.
It is for preparing as initial step so that liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 is entered to prepare drive waveforms part Wpre The waveform portion of opening/closing operation state, and be in this example the DC waveforms with pre- voltage Vpre.Herein, pre- electricity Pressure Vpre is less than the voltage for opening driving voltage Vo, for example, be of about 2V.Ripple is being driven with the preparation for applying thereon In the liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 of shape part Wpre, the electric potential difference between transparent electrode layer 15 and 17 at the both sides of liquid crystal layer 19 it is exhausted Vpre is changed into value.At this moment, the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal molecule M in liquid crystal layer 19 is oriented as relative to vertical with substrate surface Direction incline.In other words, each liquid crystal molecule M is orientated in the state of basic matching with preset bearing angular direction, and is not had There is riot.It should be noted that still in this condition, the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 keeps sufficiently low, and liquid crystal barrier 11 It is kept closer in the state of closed mode with 12.And, drive ripple in preparation when opening/closing drive waveforms part Woc is beaten When being applied in after the Wpre of shape part, liquid crystal molecule M is allowed at short notice oblique.
Fig. 8 is another operation example of liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12.Fig. 8's(A)Show that barrier drive signal DRV's is another Waveform example, and Fig. 8(B)Show the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12.The example illustrate liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 from Closed mode(Blocked state)It is changed into open mode(Transmission state)Situation.
When liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 is changed into open mode from closed mode, barrier driver part 41 is by barrier drive signal DRV is supplied to liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12, such as Fig. 8(A)Shown in, the barrier drive signal DRV includes opening drive waveforms The part Wo and prepared drive waveforms part Wpre being just arranged in before Wo.
It is the waveform portion for liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 to be maintained at open mode to open drive waveforms part Wo, and It is in this example in-Vo and Vo(Vo is to open driving voltage)Between change AC waveform pulse signals.When-Vo or Vo is carried During supply liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12, between the transparent electrode layer 15 and 17 in liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 at the both sides of liquid crystal layer 19 The liquid crystal molecule M response that the absolute value of electric potential difference is changed in Vo, and liquid crystal layer 19 is oblique in the voltage that this is applied.As a result, Liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 is in open mode(Transmission state), wherein light transmittance T increases, such as Fig. 8(B)Shown in.
It is for preparation conduct is first in the prepared drive waveforms part Wpre of the prelocalization for opening drive waveforms part Wo Beginning step so as to by liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 enter opening/closing operation state waveform portion, as the situation in Fig. 7.
As described above, in stereoscopic display unit 1, there is provided preparation drive waveforms part Wpre allows to be reduced to open mode Subsequent fringe time, and reduce liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 response time.And, in stereoscopic display unit 1, preparation is driven The offer of dynamic waveform portion Wpre can reduce the differently- oriented directivity of liquid crystal molecule M(Azimuth)Riot, so as to allow liquid crystal display screen Barrier 11 and 12 into open mode moment when light transmittance be further improved.
In barrier means 10, multiple liquid crystal barriers 12 form multiple groups, and belong to identical group of multiple liquid crystal barriers 12 carry out opening and closing operation when stereo display is carried out with identical timing.Afterwards, the group of liquid crystal barrier 12 is described.
Fig. 9 shows one group of configuration example of liquid crystal barrier 12.In this example, liquid crystal barrier 12 forms two groups.Specifically Ground, the multiple liquid crystal barriers 12 being arranged side by side are alternatively formed group A and group B.Note, liquid crystal barrier 12A is suitably used as belonging to The collective noun of the liquid crystal barrier 12 of group A, and similarly liquid crystal barrier 12B is suitably used as belonging to the liquid crystal barrier of group B 12 collective noun.
In stereo display is carried out, the multiple liquid crystal barriers 12 for belonging to identical group beat opening/closing behaviour in identical timing execution Make.Specifically, multiple liquid crystal barriers 12 of group A are belonged to(Liquid crystal barrier 12A)With the multiple liquid crystal barriers 12 for belonging to group B(Liquid crystal Barrier 12B)Carry out opening/closing operation and be sequentially alternately at open mode to be based on(Transmission state).At this moment, liquid crystal Barrier 11 is closed(Blocked state).And, normally shown(Two dimension shows)In, liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 (12A and 12B)All in open mode.

In stereo display is carried out, picture signal SA and SB are alternately supplied to show driver part 50, and are shown Part 20 carries out display operation based on the picture signal of the offer.In barrier means 10, liquid crystal barrier 12(Liquid crystal barrier 12A and 12B)Based on opening/closing operation is sequentially carried out, while liquid crystal barrier 11 keeps being closed(Stop shape State).Specifically, when picture signal SA is provided, as shown in Figure 10 A, liquid crystal barrier 12A is in open mode, while liquid crystal display screen Barrier 12B is closed.In display unit 20, as described later, arrange adjacent to each other at position corresponding with liquid crystal barrier 12A Four pixels Pix of row carry out display corresponding with four fluoroscopy images that picture signal SA includes.As a result, as described later, Spectators for example with the fluoroscopy images that his left eye is different with the viewing of his right eye, perceive shown image for stereo-picture.Class As, when picture signal SB is provided, as shown in Figure 10 B, liquid crystal barrier 12B is in open mode, while at liquid crystal barrier 12A In closed mode.In display unit 20, as described later, arranged adjacent one another four at position corresponding with liquid crystal barrier 12B The corresponding display of individual pixel Pix is carried out with picture signal SB includes four fluoroscopy images.As a result, as described later, spectators' example As with his left eye fluoroscopy images different with the viewing of his right eye, perceived shown image for stereo-picture.Three-dimensional aobvious In showing unit 1, by alternately turning on liquid crystal barrier 12A and this modes of liquid crystal barrier 12B come display image, so that aobvious The resolution for showing unit is improved as described later.
Normally shown(Two dimension shows)In, in barrier means 10, liquid crystal barrier 11 and liquid crystal barrier 12(Liquid crystal Barrier 12A and 12B)Both remain open mode(Transmission state), as illustrated in figure 10 c.As a result, it is allowed to spectators' viewing normal two Dimension image, because the two dimensional image is the image shown in display unit 20 based on picture signal SS.

[operation and action]
Subsequently, there is provided the description to operation and the action of the stereoscopic display unit 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
(The general introduction of overall operation)
First, it is described with reference to Figure 1 the general introduction of the overall operation of stereoscopic display unit 1.Control unit 40 is believed based on image Number Sdisp supplies control signals to show each in driver part 50, backlight drive part 42 and barrier driver part 41 Individual, described image signal Sdisp is operating synchronously with one another for controlling above-mentioned part for outside offer.Backlight drive part 42 Backlight 30 is driven based on the backlight control signal CBL provided from control unit 40.Backlight 30 projects to plane launching light aobvious Show part 20.Show that driver part 50 drives display unit 20 based on picture signal S provided from control unit 40.Display part Part 20 is shown by modulation from the projected light of backlight 30.Barrier driver part 41 is based on the screen provided from control unit 40 Hinder control signal CBR and generate barrier drive signal DRV, the signal for being generated is supplied to into barrier means 10.Barrier means 10 In liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12(12A and 12B)Opening/closing operation is carried out based on barrier control signal CBR, transmitting or stop from The light that backlight 30 is projected and launched by display unit 20.
(The detailed operation of stereo display)
Then, the description of the detailed operation in providing to carrying out stereo display with reference to several accompanying drawings.
Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B show the operation example of display unit 20 and barrier means 10.Figure 11 A show offer figure As the situation of signal SA, and Figure 11 B show a case that to provide picture signal SB.
When picture signal SA is provided, as shown in Figure 11 A, each pixel Pix in display unit 20 shows and image letter Each corresponding Pixel Information P1 to P4 in four fluoroscopy images that number SA includes.At this moment, Pixel Information P1 to P4 quilts It is respectively displayed at pixel Pix of neighbouring arrangement of liquid crystal barrier 12A.When picture signal SA is provided, in barrier means 10, It is controlled such that liquid crystal barrier 12A is in open mode(Transmission state), while liquid crystal barrier 12B is closed(Resistance Gear state).Angle output of the light of each the pixel Pix transmitting from display unit 20 to be limited by liquid crystal barrier 12A.Example Such as, it is allowed to which spectators watch Pixel Information P2 and watch Pixel Information P3 by his right eye and see solid by his left eye Figure.
When picture signal SB is provided, as shown in Figure 11 B, each pixel Pix in display unit 20 shows and image letter Each corresponding Pixel Information P1 to P4 in four fluoroscopy images that number SB includes.At this moment, Pixel Information P1 to P4 quilts It is respectively displayed at pixel Pix of neighbouring arrangement of liquid crystal barrier 12B.When picture signal SB is provided, in barrier means 10, It is controlled such that liquid crystal barrier 12B is in open mode(Transmission state), while liquid crystal barrier 12A is closed(Resistance Gear state).Angle output of the light of each the pixel Pix transmitting from display unit 20 to be limited by liquid crystal barrier 12B.Example Such as, it is allowed to which spectators watch Pixel Information P2 and watch Pixel Information P3 by his right eye and see solid by his left eye Figure.
By this way, spectators see the difference picture in the middle of Pixel Information P1 to P4 using his left eye and his right eye Prime information, so as to the Pixel Information is felt as into stereo-picture.And, image is using the liquid crystal alternately opened based on the time-division What barrier 12A and liquid crystal barrier 12B showed, so that spectators watch the average image in the position display for offseting one from another.This So that stereoscopic display unit 1 realizes the resolution of twice situation for only providing liquid crystal barrier 12A.In other words, stereo display The resolution of unit 1 is only reduced to 1/3rd of two-dimentional display situation(=1/6x2).
In stereoscopic display unit 1, in order to reduce the response time of liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12, barrier driver part 41 will be pre- Standby drive waveforms part Wpre is supplied to liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 as barrier drive signal DRV.Specifically, enter in power initiation After row, or when display pattern is in stereo display and normal display(Two dimension shows)Between when switching, barrier driver part 41 Preparation drive waveforms part Wpre is supplied to into liquid crystal barrier 11 and 12 as barrier drive signal DRV.Then, show with reference to several Example to describe stereoscopic display unit 1 in display operation.
First, there is provided the description to the example of power initiation in stereoscopic display mode.
Figure 12 shows the timing diagram of the stereo display operation after power initiation.Figure 12's(A)Show display unit 20 operation,(B)The operation of backlight 30 is shown,(C)The waveform of barrier drive signal DRVA is shown, liquid crystal (D) is shown The light transmittance T of barrier 12A,(E)The waveform of barrier drive signal DRVB is shown, and(F)Show that liquid crystal barrier 12B's is saturating Light rate T.It should be noted that in this example, barrier drive signal DRVS is 0V, and liquid crystal barrier 11 is closed(Stop State).
Figure 12's(A)Vertical axises show display unit 20 line sequential scan direction(Y-direction)Position.It is, Figure 12's(A)Illustrate the mode of operation of each position at a time in the Y direction of display unit 20.Figure 12's(A)In, " SA " represents that display unit 20 performs the state based on the display of picture signal SA, and " SB " represents that display unit 20 is performed and be based on The state of the display of picture signal SB.
After power initiation, during the time period of t0 to t1, the preparation stereo display of stereoscopic display unit 1 operation, and And after timing t 1, backlight 30, display unit 20 and barrier means 10 are operated synchronously with one another, so as to start stereo display behaviour Make.Below, the details is described.
First, during the time period of t0 to t1, barrier driver part 41 is by preparation drive waveforms part Wpre as screen Barrier drive signal DRVA is supplied to liquid crystal barrier 12A(Figure 12's(C)), while by preparation drive waveforms part Wpre as barrier Drive signal DRVB is supplied to liquid crystal barrier 12B(Figure 12's(E)).As a result, in liquid crystal barrier 12(12A and 12B)Liquid crystal layer In 19, the longitudinal direction of liquid crystal molecule M is aligned to be inclined with the direction perpendicular to substrate surface.At this moment, the printing opacity of liquid crystal barrier 12 Rate T is maintained at sufficiently low state(Figure 12's(D)With(F)).
Subsequently, after timing t 1, start normal stereo and show operation.In the stereo display operation, by scanning The line sequential scan performed in cycle T 1, based on the display sequentially carried out on liquid crystal barrier 12A(Based on the aobvious of picture signal SA Show)With the display on liquid crystal barrier 12B(Display based on picture signal SB).For each display cycle T0 repeats these displays Operation.Herein, display cycle T0 is allowed to be set as such as about 16.7 [msec] (a cycles of 60 [Hz]).In this feelings Under condition, scan period T1 is about 4.2 [msec] (a quarter of display cycle T0).
First, during the time period of t1 to t2, in display unit 20, based on from the drive for showing the offer of driver part 50 Dynamic signal performs line sequential scan from highest part to lowermost portion, to perform based on the display of picture signal SA(Figure 12's (A)).Voltage Vo is applied to liquid crystal barrier 12A by barrier driver part 41(Figure 12's(C)). As a result, in barrier means 10, the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12A rises(Figure 12's(D)).At this moment, liquid crystal barrier 12A's In liquid crystal layer 19, the Vertical Square relative to substrate surface is oriented as due to the longitudinal direction of liquid crystal molecule M in the initial step To inclination, therefore liquid crystal molecule M response is rapidly oblique in the applying of voltage Vo, and light transmittance T rapidly rises.
Subsequently, during the time period of t2 to t3, in display unit 20, based on from the drive for showing the offer of driver part 50 Dynamic signal performs again line sequential scan from highest part to lowermost portion, to perform based on the display of picture signal SA (Figure 12's(A)).In other words, display unit 20 is repeated twice and shows based on the identical two field picture of picture signal SA.In barrier In part 10, liquid crystal barrier 12A is in open mode, and its light transmittance T fully increases(Figure 12's(D)).Then, backlight 30 exists This time period of t2 to t3 opens(ON)(Figure 12's(B)).This causes during the time period of t2 to t3 spectators in display part Display of the viewing based on picture signal SA on part 20.It is additionally, since light transmittance T in liquid crystal barrier 12B sufficiently low, therefore based on figure As the image that signal SA and SB show unlikely is mixed with each other, this makes it possible to reduce the image caused due to so-called crosstalk The deterioration of quality.
Then, during the time period of t3 to t4, in display unit 20, based on from the drive for showing the offer of driver part 50 Dynamic signal performs line sequential scan from highest part to lowermost portion, to perform based on the display of picture signal SB(Figure 12's (B)).0V is applied to liquid crystal barrier 12A by barrier driver part 41(Figure 12's(C)), while Liquid crystal barrier 12B is applied to using voltage Vo as barrier drive signal DRVB(Figure 12's(E)).As a result, in barrier means 10, The light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12A is reduced(Figure 12's(D)), and the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12B increases(Figure 12's(F)).This When, in the liquid crystal layer 19 of liquid crystal barrier 12B, because the longitudinal direction of liquid crystal molecule M in the initial step is oriented as relatively Incline in the direction vertical with substrate surface, therefore liquid crystal molecule M response is rapidly oblique in the applying of voltage Vo, and thoroughly Light rate T rapidly rises.Backlight 30 is closed during the time period of t3 to t4(Figure 12's(B)).Therefore, spectators can't see from base In picture signal SA be shown to the instantaneous variation based on the display of picture signal SB and liquid crystal barrier 12 in light transmittance T Instantaneous variation, this make it possible to reduce picture quality deterioration.
During the time period of t4 to t5, in display unit 20, based on from the driving letter for showing that driver part 50 is provided Number line sequential scan is performed again to lowermost portion from highest part, to perform based on the display of picture signal SB(Figure 12 's(A)).In other words, display unit 20 is repeated twice and shows based on the identical two field picture of picture signal SB.In barrier means 10 In, liquid crystal barrier 12A is closed, and its light transmittance T fully reduces(Figure 12's(D)), while liquid crystal barrier 12B is in Open mode, its light transmittance T fully increases(Figure 12's(F)).Then, backlight 30 is opened during the time period of t4 to t5 (ON)(Figure 12's(B)).This causes spectators, and viewing is based on picture signal in display unit 20 during the time period of t4 to t5 The display of SB.It is additionally, since that light transmittance T is substantially low in liquid crystal barrier 12A, therefore the figure shown based on picture signal SA and SB As being unlikely mixed with each other, this makes it possible to the deterioration of the picture quality for reducing causing due to so-called crosstalk.
Then, during the time period of t5 to t6, in display unit 20, hold as during the time period of t1 to t2 Display of the row based on picture signal SA(Figure 12's(A)).Barrier driver part 41 is by voltage(-Vo)As barrier drive signal DRVA is applied to liquid crystal barrier 12A, while being applied to liquid crystal barrier 12B using 0V as barrier drive signal DRVB(Figure 12's(C) With(E)).As a result, in barrier means 10, the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12A increases, while the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12B Reduce(Figure 12's(D)With(F)).At this moment, in the liquid crystal layer 19 of liquid crystal barrier 12A, in timing t 5, due to liquid crystal molecule M's Longitudinal direction does not completely return to the direction vertical with substrate surface, and is towards being slightly tilted a direction with vertical direction (A certain azimuth direction)Orientation, therefore liquid crystal molecule M response is in voltage(-Vo)Applying and from the azimuth direction rapidly It is oblique, and light transmittance T rapidly rises.Backlight 30 is closed during the time period of t5 to the t6(Figure 12's(B)).
During the time period of t6 to t7, in display unit 20, as during the time period of t2 to t3 again Perform based on the display of picture signal SA(Figure 12's(A)).In barrier means 10, liquid crystal barrier 12A is in open mode, its Light transmittance T fully increases, while liquid crystal barrier 12B is closed, its light transmittance T fully reduces(Figure 12's(D)With (F).Then, backlight 30 is opened during the time period of t6 to the t7(ON)(Figure 12's(B)).
Then, during the time period of t7 to t8, in display unit 20, hold as during the time period of t3 to t4 Display of the row based on picture signal SB(Figure 12's(A)).Barrier driver part 41 applies 0V as barrier drive signal DRVA To liquid crystal barrier 12A, while being applied to liquid crystal barrier 12B using voltage (- Vo) as barrier drive signal DRVB(Figure 12's(C) With(E)).As a result, in barrier means 10, the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12A reduces, while the light transmittance T of liquid crystal barrier 12B Increase(Figure 12's(D)With(F)).At this moment, in the liquid crystal layer 19 of liquid crystal barrier 12B, in timing t 7, due to liquid crystal molecule M's Longitudinal direction does not completely return to the vertical direction of substrate surface, and is towards being slightly tilted a direction with vertical direction (A certain azimuth direction)Orientation, therefore liquid crystal molecule M response is in voltage(-Vo)Applying and from the azimuth direction rapidly It is oblique, and light transmittance T rapidly rises.Backlight 30 is closed during the time period of t7 to the t8(Figure 12's(B)).
